Multifunctional holder for baby&#39;s food and baby&#39;s accessories

ABSTRACT

This device is derived from the notion that there are many instances during the first two years of a baby&#39;s life that everything in the baby&#39;s hand always finds its way to the ground, whether it be at the dinner table, the park or the zoo. This versatile multifunctional holder has four attachments which are designed to be used separately, and as needed, according to the item the user is trying to secure. This device lets a baby have complete freedom of movement with their hands and mouth, however once the baby attempts to toss an item to the floor or the item simply falls down, the flexible cord will not allow the item to reach the floor therefore making it easy for the parent to retrieve the item and continue using it.
